Intaglio is an Italian term for relief, carving, engraving and sculpture. It comes from the arts and crafts, originally used for woodwork and precious stones. Applied to archeology , it refers to figurative burial mounds or hollows that are historically proven for various Indian cultures in North America .

One example is the American Indian burial mound in the shape of a large cat, located just south of Fort Atkinson in the US state of Wisconsin . It is the only one far and wide that has remained undamaged because it could be used as a tourist-economic attraction.
